Thread detector & dispatcher are not daemon threads.... about pifacecommon HOT 1 CLOSED

PiFace Common v4.2.0:

• Added daemon flag for PortEventListener.

PiFace Digital IO v3.1.0:

• Added daemon flag for InputEventListener.

The new flag is used like this:

listener = pifacedigitalio.InputEventListener(pfd, daemon=True)

I'm afraid I'm too busy at the minute to push these to the Raspbian repos (and update the docs) but I'll get around to it as soon as I can. In the mean time you can either clone this repo or use this work around:

listener = pifacedigitalio.InputEventListener(pfd)
listener.detector.daemon = True
listener.dispatcher.daemon = True

I hope that helps! It certainly has for me -- the hanging thing was massively frustrating! Thanks.
